Having learned of this, Lin Mu felt as if his understanding was expanded.
"That's why there were no markers for the beasts, now I get it." Lin Mu spoke.
"Mmmhmm, Humans are the most likely to create upheavals in the world and have higher comprehension of the heavenly Dao, that's why the world might have added them first," Xukong replied.
"Then what's next after this senior?" Lin Mu questioned.
"The world Nexus is like the central part of the world itself.. You can think of it as a separate dimension itself that exists within the world. But it can only be accessed by someone that is ordained by the world or permitted by it.
Seeing the Xiaofan world's current state, I reckon the growth of the Northern tribes might have contributed to its level increasing." Xukong answered.
"How ironic... the ones that want to cause disaster are the ones that are causing the world to grow..." Lin Mu said, finding it strange.
"Such is the cruel game of fate... it will favor you sometimes and hate you sometimes," Xukong replied.
"Hmm... but this is also a good point, isn't it?" Lin Mu asked.
"To be honest, it can go either way," Xukong replied.
"What do you mean, senior?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Seeing as how the world is upgrading, if you manage to succeed the overall power of the world will upgrade too. The spirit Qi level within the world will rise and all the beings of this world will be blessed.
Their talents would elevate and there will be far more cultivators, thus further developing the world. But on the other hand... the Xiaofan world is in a sensitive situation. If the Northern Tribes manage to use the invader or even call more invaders, they might just plunder the world.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
The world is like an egg. Once it hatches, it will be able to protect itself, but before that, if someone attacks it, it will just be ripe for the taking. The stronger invaders won't have a problem tearing down the world and taking all that it contains, including the people." Xukong answered.
Hearing this, Lin Mu was surprised. While he had learned about some things from the Lost Immortal's memoirs, there was no mention of such people.
The Former Adviser of the Hong Lin Kingdom, Adviser Chu had passed away.
Lin Mu who received the message from the King, sighed to himself.
"So he finally passed away..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
"He did manage to last longer than he would have otherwise. You helped him live longer, so don't be down." Xukong replied.
"Still... he was at the Peak of the Adult Soul Stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If only he was able to break through, he would have had another thousand years of lifespan." Lin Mu spoke.
"Sometimes things cannot proceed as we want them to," Xukong replied.
Lin Mu stayed silent for a while as he processed his thoughts. After about an hour of pondering, Lin Mu spoke again.
"Adviser Chu ultimately died because he lacked power... even if he did not have physical power or his cultivation, he could have used other ways to overcome it... he did not even attempt it and neither did he ask for help from others..." Lin Mu muttered.
"I told you before, his body had deteriorated to the point where nothing would have helped him." Xukong reminded.
"No senior," Lin Mu interrupted, surprising Xukong.
"You said that power could do anything... even defy death. Then tell me, was there absolutely no solution to the man's situation?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Well... there was a solution." Xukong replied.
"Just one?" Lin Mu asked again.
"Well... solutions." Xukong said.
"See... he lacked the drive to find them." Lin Mu replied, as his expression turned cold.
